From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Thu Jun 05 2014 - 01:00:55 EST


3.4-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Horia Geanta <horia.geanta@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit 27c5fb7a84242b66bf1e0b2fe6bf40d19bcc5c04 upstream.

GFP_ATOMIC memory allocation could fail.
In this case, avoid NULL pointer dereference and notify user.
